Knicks Edge Spurs 105-104 in Game 2 to Take 2-0 NBA Finals LeadPreviousNext

The New York Knicks secured a narrow 105-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, taking a 2-0 series lead. Despite leading comfortably, the Knicks faced a late rally led by Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, who scored 29 points and nearly won the game with a buzzer-beater that missed. Jalen Brunson's late free throws and Karl-Anthony Towns' strong performance helped New York maintain momentum as the series shifts to Madison Square Garden.
